@Stephen Vann think I'm back out for this race, sister having a birthday meal out on Mon. Regardless good luck to all for race both on driving and connection fronts 👍
(also I feel as well a lot of people dropping out of the series completely - and have this to add - even if it is just out of respect tor the event organiser, stick in and keep trying. It is not his fault but yet he remains composed and fair to all which I think is something very important to consider - its only my first online racing series BUT it is very clear, even to my newbie self, that a lot of time and effort is put into this series).
The way I try to deal with it is, expect nothing (from the servers) and you wont be disappointed, as I don't see that there is anything we can do anyway (Unless anyone works for Sony??) And on the occasions things hold, to complete a 90 minute race is a victory in itself, regardless of finishing position!
Maybe the race just passed was a combination of a troubling distant South Africa connection, and too many room resets. Maybe the rooms are most stable when people join gradually, as naturally happens as people become free on race day. For me, if I join last, it seems to help. Maybe if people are all friends on PSN it helps?...
Basically its like real life racing. Some teams have unreliable cars. We don't... We just have unreliable servers!!
Stick with it folk, its actually a more realistic simulator than we give credit
(beat that for turning a negative into a positive
)

Loool I'm not saying for one second it's anything to do with the event organiser just simply saying people seem to be dropping like fly's... Anyhow as for my self not attending anymore is purely because off work I may be able to attend tmr's tace but that will be the last for around 4-5 weeks due to my work rota... Also with regards to the even organiser I want to also add that its also my first proper online racing series that I happened to just stumble across and needless to say at first I was completely out off my league when u were racing the Megan's, but since racing the Sls I've have been able to find time to tune and practice rather a lot lol... The event is run superbly I can't doubt it in anyway it's just a real shame that I can not make it a whole 10races unless we can change start time of races but will see??? Anyhow was good racing with u all even if it was short lived...
(As for the servers sometimes they are crap lol)

Just checking in to see how far the stewards have gotten with processing this? Eager for a decision before the next round.
I'll be getting a new mattress delivered this evening. Will attend Round 8 Indianapolis if possible.

No action? Did you look at the replay? Watch it and you will take action, no doubt. @Stephen Vann
EDIT: Just as I joined the room, delivery driver calls to say they will be ready in 20 minutes. So I'll be attending to that for the next hour, most likely. Might just squeak into the session but don't hold it up just for me.

Due to some miscommunication , and not checking of inbox
.. I can report that action has been taken over the reported incidents . I have spoken to Dan and due to the fact it was an unofficial race , he's received a verbal warning and has been reminded about the standards expected on track . I hope you can be happy with the decision taken as it was an unofficial race , and we knew this fact from green ..

Hmm, I would expect him to be banned from the championship for what he did. In fact I can't believe any fair racing series would reach any lesser conclusion!
Perhaps the incidents have not been properly understood? The required format doesn't allow me to explain specifically what is going on over the several minutes of relevant activity.

They have.
There is no need .
If it had been an official race (which it wasn't , we were told before green it was postponed) then it may have been a different outcome.
Believe 👍

Firstly, let me acknowledge @Daniel199025 left the entire track free when I came up to lap him. @GTP_Jonjig your verbal warning had something to do with this, so let me thank you as well.
My strategy was to stop when my tyres reached 7 because I can't control the car below that level. This meant stopping before 30 minutes, as I discovered in the race. (Only ran 10 laps of practise - oops.)
GTB drove a brave 1 stop strategy. Perhaps he read @Stephen Vann made that work to overturn an early mistake at Grand Valley? (The race that never was...) Thankfully the front tyre wear is critical to lap time due to so much time spent in corners.
A few other highlights, from watching the replay.

Just a few short ones from the important final laps.

A fantastic dice with @Stephen Vann (PSN: LOGLINE) lit up my first couple of laps. Wheel to wheel through the entire first chicane at the start of lap 2!
I was expecting a 1 stop strategy from LOGLINE as I very gradually pulled away. But I think he did 2 stops and was unlucky in traffic? We were doing personal best sectors, driving the opening few laps at our limit. Looking at the timing it was 0.1s give and take in most sectors. Even up to lap 11!
@DrAug once again showed amazing pace, eventually his strategy enabled a 1m28s lap! He said after the race is strategy didn't work out and he finished unusually low down.
@Jfrod thought something happened to his car in the last turn of lap 22. A few of us have saved the replay, perhaps we can figure it out. Worth watching lap 15-16-17-18 between him and @GTP_Jonjig for a lot of action. Lapped traffic proves crucial. It actually gave the race a genuine multi-class feeling, like real GT endurance racing.
Lap 19 he is regaining on @DrAug and I'm 1 lap ahead of them both, but just ahead on the road. The starting gaps and pits stops scrambled the field on this relatively short 1.5 minute course. (I pit this lap, just before they start unlapping themselves. Everyone avoids losing time this way - I had a few lucky breaks like this!)
Lap 20 is entertaining as they begin to contest the slipstream. @DrAug tyres start falling off the cliff as @GTP_Jonjig starts putting the hammer down. Lap 21 they both pass @Jfrod who tried a slightly long first stint but lost too much time. Lap 22 into 23 is most dramatic! Lap 24 is surely curtains for @DrAug as he is spinning the rears and slides off before the last turn...but he still does not pit.
@Daniel199025 unconventional pit strategy has got him ahead of @Jfrod at this stage. They are close on track. @GTB2012GT3 is in the lead but going 2-3 seconds a lap slower than me. He comes in a little early for a mid-way tyre change, at 44 minutes. The longer final stint may be what proved decisive by the end of the race.
Mid-point and I'm just 15 seconds behind the leader. 45 minutes and 1 pit stop ahead of me. Pit stops cost a huge amount here but so do worn tyres...it could go either way! LOGICLINE is 20 seconds behind me. Lap 33 and the leader is just barely in sight, 10 seconds ahead on the home straight.
Lap 36 and I'll be in the tow by the home straight...but we hit lapped traffic! The gap goes out but comes back in. I'm burning the last of my tyres to try and get the slipstream. The pressure is causing GTB to make mistakes so I'm disrupting his strategy, slowing his total race, even while 2-5 seconds behind. Cat and mouse. Wonderful.
Lap 38 and @GTP_Jonjig exits the pits just after we go through. GTB makes a mistake in the first chicane and I react just in time, nipping through to the lead. Now the faster group drivers are on GTB, trying to unlap themselves. @DrAug is there as well - fantastic! I refocus and try to 'break the elastic' to GTB, while the trio distract each other through the first and second complex of turns in a tight group.
But at least one car stays in contact and @GTP_Jonjig has my slipstream as we head onto the historic banking. So I take my pit stop now, entering the lane just on the hour. Perfect timing as the stop takes quite a while, meaning my final stint stays 30 minutes. (LOGICLINE pitted around this time, again I didn't see! Still thought he was trying 1 stop like @GTB2012GT3 .)
I don't lose time to cars trying to regain the lap they've lost during the race. The battle for position between @GTP_Jonjig and @DrAug continues without distraction from me. Lap 39 and they are nose to tail. At the end of this lap they pass @Jfrod who kept the offset of his long first stint. Perhaps he plans to reel them in with a shorter, faster final stint? @GTP_Jonjig goes faster than he has been before on Lap 41. He sets the fastest sector 4 of the race on lap 42! Using his fresher tyres to keep @DrAug behind - just! It's a thrilling contest to watch, lap after lap of tense stalemate.
Lap 42 and I'm 34 seconds behind @GTB2012GT3 with about 25 laps to go. I need to drive more than 1 second per minute faster than him to win. Man, pit stops really are long here!
@DrAug makes a 2nd pit stop on lap 49, 1 hour 18 into the race. Was this better than toughing out the tyres until the end, given how long the pit lane is? Quite possibly.
@Daniel199025 retires after lap 51 or 52. @DrAug tries to unlap himself from @GTB2012GT3 but misjudges it at the double hairpin. He gets by the next time on the home straight. This unfolding of strategies helps mine - just 5 seconds behind with 7 minutes to go!
Lap 55 and I'm finally, finally in the slipstream. A race-long car chase leads to a straight up final showdown! @BMWM3csi keeps out the way as he lap him on the back straight, almost as a single vehicle. We lap him again just after the decisive move, a few laps later.

Why do you allow hooligans in the practise races? That isn't a clean series and it teaches bad habits. Every time cars are competing on track in this club's lobby, IT'S A CLUB EVENT. It's an opportunity for drivers to LEARN and for the organisers to TEACH.
You can't call yourselves stewards if you think drifting the wrong way around the track, 3 laps down, until the leader comes past, and then ramming them off the track (and trying it again a few laps later) is the conduct of someone who deserves a place in this championship. He planned it out several laps in advance, running down his fuel then taking fresh tyres to enable maximum chance of trolling as I ran towards the end of my final stint. All the times to look at are in my report.
I received a bigger reprimand for simply typing a message DURING A PRACTISE RACE than he has received for this outrageous instance of bullying. It's being swept under the carpet.
You either have rules or you don't. If you don't care about fair play, driving standards etc then simply delete all that stuff from the first message.
Do I have to escalate this to a moderator to get something done? Maybe this series doesn't deserve to be on GT Planet. The event host even delayed the race a futher 20 minutes and lost a promising newcomer just to make sure the bully could get into the session. And then he doesn't bother staying until the end because he's off the pace! Parked up on the infield then quit out after lap 50. A sore loser as well as a bully - yet you insist on keeping him in this 'ultra clean' series? What nonsense.

Ben, i will respond to your post later today after i have had good time to think through the post 860.

Someone isn't a happy bunny today... Wrong side off the bed maybe!!! Lol

Look's to me that someone is not a happy bunny at this moment in time!!Anyhow time for me too go on with my "HOUR" long post; regarding Grand Valley's race that was held on the 28.03.16, the OFFICIAL race was abandoned/postponed due to the very annoying server issue's we were experiencing at the time and have been for the last couple off race's at least that's what it seem's... It does get somewhat frustrating for everyone not just "myself" when we are all eager to start the race but connection problems are generally the only thing that seem to be holding the race start back, I do also believe that we were all informed of the postponement before the green light as a steward says here;
And as the race rules also say the same thing on Page 1 of the GTPlanet forum (would u like a link??) again I quote;
(IF A RACE HAS BEEN DELAYED BY MORE THAN 30 MINUTES - CAUSED BY SERVER OR CONNECTION ISSUES IT WILL BE POSTPONED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK)...
Now yes I did intentionally ram @BenMillard off the road & NO I am not proud of my negative behaviour on this ONE occasion (yes this one off occasion), since I've been racing in the series I have had nothing but good battles with many good people some close & some incredibly close not to mention exhilarating at times... Now @BenMillard again I did also PSN message you to apologies for my behaviour saying that it's not how I usually act (I'm sure many within the series can vouch for me on this) & that it was out of frustration not that that's any excuse mind it was simply out of order on my behalf (hands up)... But as the race rules also explain how to report a racing incident I found it odd that @BenMillard was reporting me for going "off track" at the final left of the fast sweeping section when I was already last and not gaining anything from this not to mention it was an error off judgment from myself probably out of frustration of the whole race it's self... I have noticed many off these non worthy reports over many races but each to there own I guess... Anyway's I expected to be in rather a lot of trouble as if I were at school lol as this series is run superbly by the host @Stephen Vann & stewards @GTP_Jonjig & the others (not sure who they are) it's by far the best online racing series I've had the luxury of being a part of... As for bullying you yourself @BenMillard are no better with your little comments such as me apparently being a hooligan, I left the track because you were lapping me lol I left because I had to go watch my kids perhaps you wouldn't understand this just yet!!! Probably also explains why when I left the room last night u were very eager to start the race without me and then say that told u we should have started 20mins ago haha and I'm the bully... Nether the lest happy to be a part off the series @Stephen Vann thanks...
Could you possibly let me know the start date for the next series as I shall try to attend all!!

Response to Ben
Response to Ben, i have to say first that i always try to smooth over any bad blood.
Over many many series, i have had all sorts of issues with different drivers, and although i sort of
understand that some people get very cross about things, in general its gone shortly afterwards and i ask drivers to apologise to each other for any harsh words, or silly driving and we all move on.
In the end its a game, and although we try to make it as real as we can, its a game we play for enjoyment.
What i cant really understand Ben, is why you hold on to issues.
It is very tiresome to be honest, and makes me sad that you cannot just take the fun element, and forget the bad stuff.
In real racing there is all sorts of disputes, mistakes and unfair things happen, and i guess they just get on with it with large or small penalties.
We have such server/connection issues before each race that it becomes very frustrating for everyone, and i am sometimes amazed that people still have the patience and wait for it all to be sorted out.
We advertise the series as i have told you before ULTRA clean and fair, and i want to keep this in the title.
It has meant that we have no hooligans in the series.
The Incident report system has always been the same, it will continue to be the same.
We get almost no incidents reported, and that is a testament to our series, in the past the only incidents have been where there have been one or two reckless driving with intent that we have had to deal with, but really apart from that not much at all.
I cant waste more and more time with your continued petty remarks about petty incidents.
I enjoy you being in the series and enjoy the fact we are closely matched on track.
You can see that we try our best to run a fair and friendly series that tries to take in elite and non elite drivers and still give everyone a chance.
In 3 years i have never known anything like your view on things, as if we don't have enough problems even seeing each other.
So Ben, i am afraid i cannot waste anymore time on this continued bad feeling.
You are welcome to report to Gt planet moderators if you feel you want to.
For me, i welcome all drivers, good or bad, and try to befriend and help them to enjoy our handicapped series.
From now on Ben, i only ask you to report your Incidents for review, and not make remarks about other drivers incidents.
In the end, its a an imperfect game played with imperfect drivers on imperfect servers.
Please Ben, don't take this the wrong way.
But i just don't want this continued in any more posts.

@Stephen Vann i did already apologies to him personally but he has since deleted me from PSN and seems to keep bad mouthing me for what reason I am not sure... I how ever do not intend on holding grudges as like you said it is after all just a game... I could post the PSN message I sent to him on here but I will not waste anymore of my time...
Any information regarding the dates for next series??

Well, in theory Dan we should finish this series on Mon 25th April.
Normally we would then have a couple of weeks of test races and hard recruiting, so my guess is Mon 9th May would be around the first race, that is if we get no more delays.
You mentioned about staring times Dan, ?

Well, a theoretical 19.00 uk time seems to suit most, but as long as most people are ok with next series changes then i am.

19:00 uk time is okay for me but as my work goes I work 4 Monday's in a row then off 4 Monday's so on the days in working I would have to leave by 20:00 uk time so if there was a slight change in time so we could start earlier maybe and take into consideration that connection issues etc it may become to earlier for others so will see...
